Student Testimonials
I chose LMU because it is one of the best universities and occupies an important location in the science-rich landscape in Bavaria. The campus in Martinsried is the perfect combination of future research and nature: The architecture looks modern and inviting while all around are forests and meadows. As a nature lover, I feel very comfortable here! I chose the Molecular and Cellular Master's program because I am fascinated by the molecular world of biology. Also, this program was different from those at other universities because it allowed me to put together my schedule. This is not always easy, but it makes it possible for me to study self-determined and according to my interests! So, during my studies, I was able to get deeper insights into different fields like genetics, plant sciences, and science communication. Especially the new chair "Life Sciences in Society" is an opportunity for the faculty to teach students, the future scientists, to link their science with the public. Here, one can get first insights into the topics of science communication and is even able to get hands-on experience: In collaboration with the local and new museum Biotopia, you can plan and execute workshops and other activities with the public yourself, for example. What I also appreciate very much is that we have many different and renowned scientists in the field of plant sciences. This makes it possible to gain insights into many important areas and to learn the most modern methods. So, if you like to work independently and want to be part of the latest research, you are in good hands here. Alice, Germany, student |

Post my bachelor's degree, I wanted to go for a direct Ph.D. program, but I am glad that I opted for a master’s program at LMU instead. The molecular and cellular biology program offers a great flexibility and diverse range of course with two internships and a research thesis. I believe all of this is moulding me to be a better researcher, giving me exceptional research experience as well as expanding my education making me more ready for a Ph.D. ahead.

The MCB programme was a wholesome experience for me. The immense flexibility of the course allowed me to delve into fields that I usually wouldn’t, and didn’t limit me to the routines of a Master’s degree. To carry out independent research was perhaps the most beneficial part. My time at LMU was very rewarding, thanks to the education and exposure it offers. Its conducive environment is ideal for anyone who wishes to make a good fist of their scientific careers, and otherwise. Kaushikk, India, student |
I had applied to the MCB (Molecular and Cellular Biology) master’s program because I loved the flexibility and freedom that the program had to offer. I was one of the first students in this new master’s program (2018) and I was surely not disappointed. The program exceeded my expectations with amazing people and infrastructure, which definitely has positively impacted me in the early stages of my academic career. Soham, India/USA, alumnus |

Ever Since my childhood, I was inclined towards understanding the mystery of life. This led me to choose a career path in biology. After 4 amazing years of my bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology, I wanted to explore and develop my research interests in the area of Cell and Molecular Biology. When I was short-listing universities to pursue my master’s degree, LMU’s International Master’s program in Molecular and Cellular Biology stood out to me in terms of the diversity and flexibility it offered in designing one’s curriculum.
